7 Supplements You Need to Eliminate Candida

Most people go and start a candida cleansing regimen. They pick an anti-fungal, a probiotic, and stick to an anti-candida diet for a few months. This is all nice and well, but cleansing is tough on your body. It robs us of nutrients, energy, and vitality. If you cleanse for a prolonged period of time without taking the right supplements, you will feel even sicker. That is why when we start our anti-fungal regimen, we need to take the right supplements to revitalize ourselves - we need “super-foods”.

Super foods are called super foods for a reason - they are extremely nutritious, and supply us with a whole array of different vitamins and nutrients. As I compiled this list, I tried to include only foods/supplements that efficiently supplied us with stuff we absolutely need. Here are 7 supplements you should consider getting if you are doing any sort of anti-fungal regimen and candida cleansing:

1. Eggs

Eggs, especially raw egg yolk are very nutritious and are considered the most powerful food there is. Now, I know many of you are immediately turned off by the thought of eating raw egg yolk, but let me try to ease those fears. Egg yolk may contain salmonella, but if you small quantities, and gradually increase your dosage day-by-day,the risk of being infected is gone. In reality, even if you do consume some salmonella, the worst that can happen to you is feeling a tad sick.

And you don’t have to drink egg yolk by itself (Those Rocky movies were misleading!). In reality, most people mix egg yolk with a drink, or protein shake, and just gulp it down. Egg yolk has literally no bad taste, and simply makes the drink smoother, and a little sweeter. It tastes quite aromatic.

A thing to keep in mind is to eat only the yellow egg yolk, not the white! Contrary to popular belief, it is only the egg yolk that contains all the vitamins you need. The white isn’t harmful, it’s just that it’s practically useless and contains little nutrients.

2. Cod Liver Oil

I remember my parents always forced me to consume a spoonful of cod liver oil every single day before I went to bed. I didn’t know how healthy it was then, but now I know. Cod Liver oil is a rich source of Vitamin A, which helps thins your blood. Vitamin A is crucial as it acts an anti-oxidants, ridding your body of free radicals.

Cod Liver Oil also contains plenty of Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help:

- Boost your energy levels, which will be lower than usual since you’re cleansing.

- Boost your immune system, and help prevent flus ad colds

3. Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat Germ Oil also acts a powerful anti-oxidants since it contains Vitamin E. In addition it contains many B-vitamins. It can help with many diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, immune disorders, and skin disorders such as acne. In addition, taking wheat germ oil will greatly improve the functions of many of your organs such as your brain, and skin.

One of the most crucial benefits of taking wheat germ oil is also its effect on reducing cholesterol. We all know how deadly cholesterol is in blocking our arteries, causing heart disease. Well, wheat germ oil, due to the fact it contains so much Vitamin E prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. This reduction means that plaque can’t form, and our arteries will be clear, and unblocked.

There isn’t many supplements that can give you such a rich source of Vitamin E. Cleansing will definitely rob you of this important vitamin, so taking wheat germ oil is definitely something I recommend.

4. Emergen-C

Emergen-C, or Ester-C (Vitamin C) is also extremely crucial, as it contains many important electrolyes that helps keeps your blood alkaline, as it sheds away acids.

As to the many benefits of Vitamin C they are:

- protecting against heart stroke

- healing wounds

- enhancing the absorption of iron.

- protecting our immune systems

- eliminating free radicals

Of course, many of us instinctively reach for a bottle of Vitamin C whenever we are sick, or feel like we’re going to be sick. Vitamin C is such a great supplement for our immune system, and keeps us feeling energetic. How much is enough? Usually a capsule or 2 per day is enough. I always take mine in the morning as it supplies me with energy throughout the day.

Some people even do a Vitamin C flush, but that is a whole another story.

5. Calcium-Magnesium Fizz

Calcium-Magnesium Fizz, as the name suggest supplies calcium plus magnesium. But that’s not all, it also contains Vitamin D, and even some Vitamin B. Vitamin D greatly optimizes the metabolism of calcium, and builds strong bones. The Vitamin B’s will improve your nervous system, and various glands.

Taking it will keep your blood alkaline. The Vitamin B will give you plenty of energy for the day as well.

My suggestion is to take a spoonful of Cal-Mag Fizz right before you go to bed, or late in the evening. The great thing about Cal-Mag Fizz, as opposed to regular tablets of calcium or magnesium, is that it is easily absorbed by your system. Tablets, on the other hand are partially digested. There are many flavors, and none of them taste bad.

6. Nutritious Yeast Flakes

Yumm.. yumm.. don’t be put off by the term ‘yeast’, as it is not really yeast at all, and it is definitely good to take if you have candida.

Nutritious yeast flakes are readily available in most health stores, and are a rich source of B-vitamins. One serving will give you enough B-Vitamins for a day, which is more than you can ask for.

7. Perfect Food Supplement

A supplement made by Garden of Life (makes of Fungal Defense and Primal Defense) can be beneficial to take as well. If you can make raw veggie juice made with greens, that would be the optimal choice. If you live a busy lifestyle, like me, taking a Perfect Food supplement is almost as good.

Perfect Food are packed with antioxidants, in the form of greens such as grasses, algae, sea veggies, whole veggies, grains and seeds. You can get 5+ servings of greens with a capsule of Perfect Food. If you lack greens in your diet, definitely get yourself some Perfect Food.

Special Mention: If you suffer from Leaky Gut Syndrome, I recommend trying the Product Lactoferrin. This supplement is known for its immune support, and antioxidant properties. In short, it has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-virtal properties that will benefit candida and leaky gut syndrome sufferers. You can get Lactoferrin here.
